Title, Abstract & keywords

To create keywords for a research paper, you need to select 3-8 terms/phrases that Describe the core aspects of your study Are likely to be used by other researchers who are searching for your topic in a database   How do you find the right keywords for your paper? To find the keywords that will work best for your paper, do the following: 1. Analyze your title and abstract Identify the most essential aspects of your study (these will usually be nouns). For example, if your paper is titled “Impact of Nanobiosensor-Derived Lactate Monitoring on Intrapartum Hypoxia Outcomes in High-Risk Pregnancies”, effective keywords could be Intrapartum Hypoxia, High-Risk Pregnancy, Nanobiosensors, Lactate Clearance, Fetal Acidosis, Lactate Monitoring. 2. Brainstorm related terms Think of synonyms that other researchers might use if they are interested in your topic. For example,  if your study is titled “The Relationship between Iron Deficiency Anemia and Dyslipidemia”, your keywords could include iron metabolism, serum ferritin, total cholesterol, atherogenic index, etc. 3. Filter out extra-broad phrases Avoid using very general keywords because they will not actually lead interested researchers to your paper. For example, in a study showing that dietary glucose intake increases inflammation markers in rheumatoid arthritis,...

Keywords are important to make your paper discoverable to other researchers because they are used to index your paper in major databases like Web of Science and Scopus and then display your article to researchers who are searching for relevant topics. Without keywords, your paper is not searchable, discoverable, or visible and so won't be cited either. Keywords help other researchers quickly determine what field and topic your paper is covering so that they can decide to view, download, and cite it.  That's why it is important to include the most relevant keywords that will help other authors find your paper.

The title of a research paper summarizes the main ideas of your study. When coming up with a suitable title for your research paper, consider the purpose and scope of the research, the narrative tone or the type of research the paper aims to describe, and the methods used. The purpose of the title is to highlight the research problem that is being investigated.

Hello Divya – Welcome to the forum! Getting straight to your query, the thing is, it’s not always possible, or fair, to suggest a title without looking at the entire paper rather than only the topic. Also, what you have here is the subject of the study rather than an initial title. You will need to rework and trim this until you finally arrive at a title that fulfills certain criteria for a title, such as being short, attention-grabbing, indicative of the study, and comprehensive while being crisp. You will find all these details, including a step-by-step process for arriving at a title that works, in this excellent article: How to write an effective title and abstract and choose appropriate keywords One more tip. If you are getting stuck, have only a working title for now, complete the paper, and come back and refine the title. This often works; in some cases, the title then ‘almost writes itself.’ :-) Finally, as this also touched upon editing, if you need help with editing your paper (rather than only the title), you may of course check out any of our range of editing services here. Hope that helps. And all the best...

Hello Ajfan – Welcome to the forum! Please note that we have edited your question for greater clarity. Coming to your query, you are facing challenges with writing a title for your paper and perhaps also with writing the paper. We can provide resources for all these. But note a few things for now. The title should be relevant to your topic of research and it should attract attention. Else, people may not be interested in reading your paper. In case you are indeed stuck over thinking of the title for longer, you can have only a working (rough/draft) title for now and then finalize it once you have finished writing the main paper. By then, you would have become more clear of the focus of your research and thus be able to write a title easily. For help with the title, you may refer to this resource: 3 Basic tips on writing a good research paper title If writing is an issue, it could be a problem with writing itself or a problem with the research. If it’s a problem with writing, you could try various things like: writing in parts, starting with the methods instead of the introduction,...
